I miss the old Goku...! | Dragon Ball

I miss the old Son Goku, ever since Dragon Ball super started Goku has felt like a shell of his former self in every way I’ve narrowed this down to four main points and I plan on giving comparisons to explain why these are either contradictory to Goku’s character or don’t make sense as a logical continuation of it. 1 is Goku’s seemingly lost touch of what being a fighter means 2 is Goku’s tenacity in letting villains live 3 Goku’s sudden development of an ego leaving him off guard & lastly 4 Goku being very carefree/childish in response to danger and threats to he or his family.
Intro: 0:00
Moro Dillema: 0:45
Goku doesn't know what being a fighter means: 2:38
Goku letting Villains live again: 5:02
Goku has an ego now?: 7:59
Goku is too carefree in response to threats: 10:39

    TOYOTARO IS A VEGETARD WITH A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER, YOU CAN FIND MANY SCENES WHERE TOYOTARO COPIES FROM DBZ AND THEN HAVE VEGETA DOES VERSIONS OF THOSE SCENES WHILE GOKU RENENACTS ALL OF VEGETA BAD SCENES LIKE WHEN VEGETA WAS ON THE GROUND ON NAMEK AFTER FRIEZA BEAT HIM UP AND GOKU JUST ARRIVED FROM THE HEALING POD, THIS IS MIRRORED AGAINST MORO WHEN VGETA LEARNS INSTANT TRANSMISSION THEN MAGICALLY FORGETS... GRANOLA ARC, HE LITERALLY RIPPED OFF SSJ 3 GOKU VS KID BUU FOR VEGETA VS GRANOLA, THEN LATER ON HE HAS WHIS TELLING GOKU WHAT GOKU TOLD GOHAN IN THE HYPERBOLIC TIME CHAMBER IN THE CELL ARC WORD FOR WORD.

    Son Goku has suffered probably the biggest character assassination in history. He went from a complete martial artist at the end of the Cell Games to a complete joke in super...the authors made him forget all of the lessons he has learned and make all the stupidest mistakes that he could make. it is such a shame, after watching him develop over all those years, seeing him regress so much.

    Child Goku had an ego, but he also learned from Mr. Popo to never underestimate his opponents, and he never showed that side during the Z arc because he learned his lesson. He suffered from Flanderization, unfortunately. OG Adult Goku had some childish elements to him but they were very minor and were just a few charming quirks to his character, but he behaved like an adult where it counted. In Super he seems like a manchild now, he never takes anything seriously and acts like a teenager all the time like everything is just a big game to him, even though people are dying he doesn't take the situation seriously! It's frustrating.

    While reviewing the Saiyan saga, some of my favorite moments that reaaaally took me back and made me remember why Goku was one of my favorite characters of all time (and why Super was a significant downgrade for me) 1 When propositioned by vegeta to become his second in command, Goku responds "No thanks. besides, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of job security" Hearing Goku talk about something as adult as job security, idk, it just really got me. This felt like a down to earth GUY. Just some guy who happens to have enormous power and abilities but a real person nonetheless. 2) When he talks to Gohan and Krillin and convinces them to leave. He points out to Gohan how Chi Chi must be worried about him and even asks Gohan to "Give her a hug for me" It's so wholesome and family oriented and implies they have a healthy, happy family dynamic that's existed all this time. Even later Z seems to forget about portraying Goku as someone who can have actual familial affection outside of pride for his son's power. 3) He purposely incapacitates Nappa instead of murdering him (this has remained fairly consistent at least) 4) His pep talk to Gohan is incredibly kind, insightful and finishes with him reaching out, again to show physical affection for his child (vegeta knee smashes him in the gut to interrupt. Which, my God Saiyan Saga vegeta is the most fun villain in DBZ. Guy absolutely delights in being the biggest heel imagineable) Seeing Goku demonstrate himself to be THIS well rounded of an adult human being...his relatability was off the charts.

He's always had faith in Gohan due to his hidden power, and even in the chamber, he saw glimpses of it and pinned his hope on that power being enough to beat Cell. The only reason he did step down is because his best shit failed, he also didn't realize Gohan didn't have his killer edge. It was pretty good writing if you think about it, otherwise it would have been another boring win. Also, in the end the goku stans won out, they needed Gohan to death and made goku kill every villian yay Goku stans. Now the series is dead af

    The real sad thing is that it's not only Goku, so many characters in Super feel like they have either regressed or are stuck in an eternal cycle of the same story and lessons over and over again. - Vegeta spends every other arc overcoming his past and sins, and admitting that Goku is better in some aspects and going his own ways just to regress right back to "Grrr my pride, I wish I was a Carot" in the next arc. - Gohan learns that you can be a scholar but keep training to protect your loved ones for the 100th time, then disappears again for the next 2 arcs and comes back all rusty. - Future Trunks tried to solve everything on his own and with pure power alone again. - Trunks and Goten have been stuck as kids for the occasional Gotenks slap stick for the past 30 years. - Krillin and the other humans keep jumping between retiring as fighters and coming back every other arc. - Beerus and Whis keep getting stronger every other arc, and every time they show a hint of interest in something or that it could have consequences, they go back to "mmmm food". It's pretty obvious Toyotarou or whoever writes this shit either doesn't really know what to do with the characters and/or that they are afraid to break the stalemate that Dragonball Super ultimately has set itself into with keeping it withing the end of Z. Super Hero was so good because it finally gave some long overdue justice to Gohan, Piccolo, and to a lesser extend Goten, Trunks, Krillin and so on. I hope they finally go beyond Z after this arc, so we don't have to push the reset button after every other arc. GT has many flaws, but I do think one thing it did pretty well was writing continuation of the characters. Goku enjoyed live and seeing Pan grow up, knowing that most things couldn't phase him anymore, but he would become 100% serious the moment he needed to. Vegeta became a family man on earth, ready to defend it with his life if need be. Goten and Trunks actually grew up and do adult shit. Piccolo embraces his role as a mentor and guardian. The list goes on. Super has potential, but they are either afraid to or don't know how to use it.

    I'd hardly call Super Hero justice for Gohan. Even if we discount the anime, last time in Resurrection F Gohan got beat down by Frieza, and then learned that hey...he should probably keep training just in case Goku and Vegeta aren't around to handle things. Flash forward to Super Hero, and Gohan actually says something to the effect of "why train when Goku and Vegeta can handle any villains?" Toriyama doesn't give two shits about Gohan anymore, and it shows with how he just never develops as a character. Then of course in order to win, what does Gohan get? A random power up from out of nowhere which is literally just a meme that people made to make fun of the idea of them recycling the idea of SSJ2 Gohan again because of how creatively bankrupt Dragonball is at this point. So what, Gohan has to learn again to actually be responsible? Except, no, not really, because actually he doesn't have to train and he'll just get saved by a convenient powerup with no repercussions for his mistakes. Meanwhile, in a movie literally titled "Super Hero," Gohan's SUPER HERO IDENTITY never shows up! How can that even be, it's the most obvious connection. Speaking of the title, Toriyama literally points out how weird it is to call it "Dragonball Super Super Hero," but I guess nobody wanted to tell a legendary mangaka like him that "hey wait...that sounds kinda dumb."

Now that the hype has gone down people are starting to realize how awful some of the choices were, the most unforgivable is Goku's regression and Vegeta's is arguably worse--Vegeta is like some weird in-between of his Android saga and Buu saga self. Though, if we're keeping it a buck, pretty much EVERYONE was regressed in DBS in some shape which is legitimately FUNNY to me. Dragon ball GT is bad, but at least the characters felt IN CHARACTER. Goku and Vegeta behave how we'd expect their more mature selves to be. Kinda crazy how Gok physically became a child in GT and mentally became a child in DBS I'd almost call it clever but we all know the writers aren't capable of being that clever.

    You nailed Z Goku in comparison to Super Goku. Everything he learned from DB through Z has been completely neglected in Super and it's appalling. I thank you very kindly for this video. Also, Goku giving Cell the Senzu Bean saved the universe, as Goku knows that both Vegeta and Frieza would destroy the planet if they were backed into a corner. He gave Cell the sb not only to protect Gohan's pride as a warrior, but to save what he holds dear to him. He felt that Gohan had a power within him stronger than himself. He knew Gohan would get the job done. Him being the Master Martial Artist, he would know how to handle situations outside of just the battle, but the war in it's entirety. In Dragon Ball: He gave Piccolo a SB because of he died, Kami would die and, the DBs would be rendered useless.

    "He gave Cell the sb not only to protect Gohan's pride as a warrior, but to save what he holds dear to him. He felt that Gohan had a power within him stronger than himself. He knew Gohan would get the job done." But Goku still needlessly assisted an enemy and thus risked the world for no good reason. Had Cell subsequently just killed Gohan rather than try to anger him, the world would've been screwed. That's why Goku giving Moro a senzu bean isn't out of character. Stupid yes, but not out of character.

    As I recall, Toriyama mentions that he writes by the seat of his pants. If you look at a lot of Dragon Ball from Namek to Buu, you can see a number of points where the plot gets rocky, but still largely works on the whole. But after all this time and Toriyama even admitting that he's forgotten aspects of Dragon Ball in the past, such as Launch or even the title of Dragon Ball Super itself, I think it's clear that writing by the seat of his pants doesn't always work for the best anymore.

    Great analysis. This precisely explains the visceral distaste for Super many fans had as it was being released. At first we couldn't quite pinpoint it, thinking it was the artsyle or the score. But mainly it was attributed to the gross character regression that Goku underwent. Like many people commented, GT was a fantastic interpretation of Gokus character growth in spite of all its flaws. Ss4, for example, perfectly exemplifies gokus commitment to being a protector as the literal catalyst to him fully realizing the transformation was him gazing at planet earth and realizing what he was fighting for. And his demeanor when using the transformation followed suit.

Then the whole Moro thing...ugh.

    ​@@omnis9924I don't think that's the case. It was more likely to give Goku a shonen protagonist progression again, because GT just flows better with Z Goku. Goku probably loved that Pan, Trunks, and [almost] Goten were going to find the Black Star Balls, because his wanting to pass the torch could be furthered in them, and for the most part he didn't even go Super Saiyan until he was getting they were getting pressed by General Rilldo, doing a lot of good at once by maintaining SSJ's prestige, showing Rilldo's power in comparison, and Goku's willing to take appropriate action when the time calls for it. It follows how Goku acts throughout the latter parts of Z. Goku in Super seems to have NO intention on passing the torch and has more emphasis on his selfish battle-lust and getting stronger, while making him convienently stupid when the plot needs it like with the seal, DESPITE HIM BEING THE ONE TO MAKE THE PLAN IN THE FIRST PLACE

    Goku in dragon ball was a literal child. Towards the end he became an adult and seemed to mature a bit from training with kame and growing up. In dbz he had spent five years raising a family so he obviously probably matured, then spent a year training with a Kai. He didn’t magically change in dbz he grew up and matured through life experiences and being trained by high level beings. The process is gradual and can definitely be seen. To say it’s ok for goku with is probably in his 40s or 50s in dbs to have the same mentality he had as a 13 year old is ridiculous.

    you're missing the context from these situations and how Goku grew from them. He spared Frieza then never did that again. He gave Cell a bean so that Cell could bring out all of Gohan's power and Gohan would kill him also so it would be a fair fight. Moro lost fair and square already so there is no fair fight and he's just like Frieza if not worse so there is no reason for Goku to even want to give Moro another chance and even if he does he can ask him after he is already in chains and back in prison nothing there calls for a senzu bean to be given and it's completely different from the situations you just mentioned. Goku giving Moro a senzu bean and not finishing him off despite everyone telling him to do so is like when he was telling Gohan to finish cell off and Gohan just didn't want to do it. it's blatant character regression and pretending like handing him a Senzu bean is the same just because the action is the same is disingenous and a blatant misinterpretation of the story.

    Imo the better solution would be to retire Goku all together as was originally intended. The reason his recent characterization is so odd is because Goku has long since fulfilled his heros journey and completed his character arc. Instead of giving Goku a respectful send off and allowing Gohan and the next generation to step up, theyve just reset and recycled Goku time and time again, making it feel like hes regressed. Its time for Goku to take the back seat in the "Master" role and let new heroes take the spotlight.
